The umbrella academy sucks

As an abuse victim, i left the show a lil angry. Like if u like the show, thats fine. If u relate to the characters, thats fine. But the show and its premise and characters had potential and the whole thing kinda fell flat to me. This is just my general opinon and im not meaning to shit on any one that likes the show! The show just made me really, really angry and i kept watxhing to see if it got better. It didnt! I dont understand why its so popular. So spoiler warning im gonna have a lil rant lol its that kinda day

I understand being damaged by being abused, i can completely relate to that. But there comes a point in your life when you have to not let that define you. I dont mean u get over it. You never get over being abused. Its ultimatly your choice to eventually heal or continue to blame your abuse for everything wrong in your life. And honestly thats very hard to do. Its hard to get helo and getting help is beauriful. And if it was just a couple characters refusing to heal, thatd be ok. Atleast have one character thats healing or healed from their abuse. It felt like a cautionary tale for abused kids. Like dont get abused or ull end up sad and miserable and ur gonna be a dickhead!!

Growing and healing from abuse is hard and it takes work. These characters were assholes that were constantly bickering with each other about stuff that didnt even matter and were blaming everyone else but themselves for problems that were their own fault.

These characters were manchildren and couldnt grow up even if they tried.

Luther is a boring and bossy piece of shit thats still chasing the glory days of being a leader and takes away all of alisons agency near the end and doesnt even learn from it. He knows best so lets overpower every other character because they arent allowed to have a say in anything. His word is law and its very controllingand gross. Also like ew thats ur sister.

Diego wants to be batman lmao. And he kills his mom without consulting anyone else and then wants pity cuz his mom is dead wtf. And he keeps getting in fights like ur not 15 anymore, get some anger managment therapy.

Allison grew up to be a manipulative bitch whos sad that people dont like her cuz shes a manipulative person. She abused her kid and is sad about it.

Klaus....ugh....he was kind of...boring....he was a drug addict who was a complete ass and was just lol xd random im gay. Then they sent him to nam and killed the only other gay who had no lines. The writers were doing some blow and being like "klaus needs depth. Lets give him some man pain and make him a vet even tho that makes absolutely no sense for his character. This is the only way to make him interesting." Like why would klaus even fight in a war, willingly, instead of going back to the future. Why would he fight in a war he knew he was gonna lose???? He didnt even get character development from this!! Hes just got ptsd now. Hes still an ass and druggie. He didnt grow, hes the same. Hes one of the more likable characters tho cuz he has a basic understanding of compassion.

Five was kind of interesting but the potential was lost there. He seems to be the most well adjusted character but honestly hes kind of a cast away rip off. Hid motivations dont always make sense too. I dont have a lot to say about him

Ben is ok. But ghost. So like no real character. Hes a blank sheet.

Vanya got the worst treatment. She was treated the worst out of all the kids and is treated and portrayed as sad and pathetic. Everytime she tries to grow from what happened, apologoze, even talk, the rest of the cast shuts her down or gaslights her in some kind of way. She then gets an abusive boyfriend and then she becomes a villian. Her character goes from caring, compassionate, and hesitant to person who kills everyone???? It makes no sense. Itd make sense if she killed her family, but not the rest of the world. Like what??

And the abusive boyfriend was abused physocally amd became a serial killer??

The abuse victims in this show either become awful people, physciotic killers, or are just bland and 2d. It sent a message to me, unintentional or otherwise, that being abused defines you and youre never gonna heal. These people are 30 somethings and they are all adult babies who seriously need to grow up.

ALSO YOU DONT HAVE TO PLAY POP MUSIC EVERY 20 SECONDS JESUS FUCKIGN CHRIST I GENUINLY LIKE THE TROPE OF A FIGHT EITH UPBEAT MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND BUT WHEN THERES LIKE FUCKING 58 POP SONGS WITH IN ONE EPISODE IT LOSES ITS SPARK AS A TROPE. ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK WAS SHIT. GROW UP AND PUT RASPUTIN IN PLACE OF INSTANBUL GOD!!! AND HIRE SOME MUSIC MAJORS!! THEYRE A DYING BREED!! THEY WILL LOVINGLY CRAFT YOU A BETTER SOUNDTRACK!! IF U DIDNT WASTE UR ENTIRE BUDGET TO GET THE RIGHTS TO 900 SHITTY POP SONGS THAT WERE ONLY GONNA BE PLAYED DURING 50 SEXOND INTERVALS WHERE CHARACTERS DO NOTHING AND INSTEAD OPTED TO USE THAT BUDGET TO GET A BETTER VIDEO EDITOR AND HIRE SOMEONE TO DO A SOUNDTRACK, ITD BE SO MUCH BETTER AND UD PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER BUDGET FOR UR SHIT CGI!! FUCK!

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk
